yes:15 million is way too low for the project.Probably 50 million or more.It is major.The current flow of money into the area will dry up once the drilling and construction is complete in late 2014/early 2015.

BTW, don’t know what Orphy told reporter Joselyn King. But when the county applied for a TIGER grant from the feds last year to build the second interchange the estimate was not $15 to $20 million. According to Commissioner Paul Mattox at the DOH, the estimate to build the second interchange and access roads was $45 million. Greg Stewart’s estimate was a little lower at $40 million. The grant application to the feds put the estimate at $40 million. A shout out to Mike Myer & John McCabe. You guys really should get the numbers right before committing your newspaper to this boondoggle.
